At first, I thought I was safe.
My computer was away, and I had kissed Final Fantasy XI goodbye. I didn't care at that point that I was going ot lose all that hard work thatI had put into the game, just that I wanted out. It was literally taking over my life. I had fought hard and finally settled on the Bard class to lvl to 75, and I got too addicted around lvl 43.
So, when I moved back home ot my computer, not my laptop, I opened it up, just to see what would happen. It scared me that I was able to log in and my stuff was still there. I quit five months ago.
Apparently my friend Reed has been keeping my account on his credit card, and therefore I was not wiped out in the three month limit they give you. It was all there.
I woke up this morning and started playing. I was pretty rusty, but as soon as I found out lots of my friends were playing still, I got a group and made it to lvl 43. It was so exilerating to play it. Damn, addicted again. This time i will probably make it to 75 and I'll forget what life outside the home is.
